I have two confessions.
I love Politics. I
am not exactly sure about the time when I took a keen interest in the Nigerian Political
field, considering however that I cannot exactly remember when Dr Chuba
Okadigbo was Senate President or when he was impeached but I am more familiar
with Rt. Hon. Anyim Pius Anyim's tenure as Nigeria's Senate President, it would
be accurate to estimate that I probably took a salient interest and became a
keen observer of Nigerian politics around the year 2002/2003. I however have
very fond memories of my brother and I on the pretext of going to read at the
hospital library very close to our house, spending more than a half of our
supposed reading time leafing through newspapers (Ok! Please don't tell Mrs O). Initially the rear sports pages of
the newspapers (Vanguard, Daily Trust) were our specialty until I began to go
beyond the back pages to stuff that were more political. Sometime later, the
NTA Network News @ 9pm becoming a fixed schedule of my daily life, a disposition
I inherited albeit by example from my father. More recently, I can still picture
myself "arguing", discussing and heatedly debating with my roommates
and friends on current affairs in Nigeria. So much is my love for these
rigorous debates that I have had not a small number of folks tell me I should
have put in to study Law or Political Sciences instead of the medical career,
